I recently invited a Chinese family who have been in Canada for only two months to spend Thanksgiving dinner with my cousins in the country. Here are 19 things we did that day that I took for granted but they were experiencing for the first time:
1. Seeing the Rocky Mountains
2. Seeing large hay bales in the foothills
3. Seeing cattle roaming in the fields
4. Entering Kananaskis Park and seeing a forest of firs and aspens
5. Hiking along a forest trail
6. Seeing trail riders on horses
7. Seeing white-tailed deer
8. Seeing a mountain river and skipping rocks
9. Fishing in the river
10. Sitting around a campfire and poking the logs
11. Roasting marshmallows
12. Making a smores from graham wafers, nuttal and marshmallows
13. Eating garden grown tomatoes
14. Eating turkey and stuffing
15. Sharing a Thanksgiving dinner with other Canadians
16. Riding a tandem bicycle in the mountains
17. Finding a maple leaf
18. Setting off rockets
19. Using a knife and fork instead of chopsticks
